I’ve moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.

I’ve tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it’s been… life changing.

What else should I be trying?

      Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”

      Mexicans love Taco Bell though. (Am half Mexican) And it’s probably the healthiest of the fast foods. Plus, OP asked about what to eat at Taco Bell, so your reply isn’t helpful

      When I visit the US I do this exclusively from family-owned restaurants, hence why I’ve never tried Taco Bell.

      But very few exist here, and none within delivery distance from me.

        You’re not missing out on anything. There’s nothing fun or exciting about eating barely human grade meat and having an upset stomach for the rest of the day.

        It’s one of those things much like soda or highly processed chips/snacks. I guarantee if you stop putting it into your body for a month, the next time you try it, your body will reject it. These people shouldn’t be proud that they’ve beaten their gut into submission with years of abuse.

          Mexican food is good, I would say that Spanish food I’m more used to is still playing catchup!

      That’s a completely different genre of food. That’s like someone saying “I like ring pops” and telling them “you should get an actual diamond ring, much higher quality”.

        Maybe not the best parallel but a good point nonetheless.

        A more apt comparison might be:

        “What’s the best all-beef hot dog I can buy at my local supermarket?”

        “Ugh! OMG! Don’t do that to yourself! Why would you even want to bother with eating beef if that’s the shit you’re going to put in your body?! Just get some Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye and thank me later!”

      Those grilled cheese burritos slap. I remember when I first got one, it was larger than I expected but it was so good. Can’t go wrong with steak.

    The crunchwrap supreme and burrito supreme I think encompasses the whole menu of flavor from Taco Bell.

    But for me, who remembers multiple tacos for 99 cents from Taco Bell: their basic and unmodified tacos with hot sauce is the only thing I need from Taco Bell.

    Try not eating taco bell.

    But on the real, anything with a chalupa shell(deep fried gordita/flatbread) just elevates stuff there. Neither their gordita or chalupa are traditional in any sense of the word but fried bread is so good imo.

    If you can get their potatoes when they are absolutely fresh, they are fire but if they’ve been sitting for any amount of time, the just taste like breaded cardboard.

    The quesadillas. Again. And again.

    I can’t stop eating them. I prefer their quesadillas over authentic ones tbh. It’s the sauce! And the baja blast!
